My New Secret Weapon Plugin

Introducing Escalator, the first of two Black Salt Audio plugins that I'll be launching June 1st, 2021.

Check out how you can add instant fatness, character, weight and punch to your mixes with Escalator. Say hello to your new secret weapon!

Need to hear it gain matched to know for sure.

The one thing this plugin does better than any other hype plugin out there: it shamelessly adds even more volume than all the others. And it will sell like crazy, congrats!

I just bought 2 BSA plug-ins yesterday. Low Control and Drum Bus. I have to say that experience of the purchase and installation was the easiest I’ve ever had buying a plug in.

You’ve really paid attention to making it as easy and pleasant as possible. And it really does show.

[louistotalcontrol]

Now now, where's that important gain matching step when bypassing?

[SoundsByHeazy]

Sounds really cool, but I'd be really interested to see a gain match feature within this, as I'm getting a little bit of the "louder = better" problem.
Really looking forward to checking the Low Control plugin out too!

[charlesbrown]

How can you be a part of creating a saturation plugin without auto gain? And why show us the plugin without manually compensating for the levels?

[keithwarm]

Just because something sounds louder doesn’t always necessarily mean it IS louder. It may just be fatter, fuller, or bigger.

[loganressler]

As constant user of stock Lofi on vox and snare (not for nothing, because of a JV video) this is very appealing to me. I definitely understand the whole argument, but honestly if I'm using saturation, I kind of do want a volume push and I really don't mind if it starts peaking the fader...

[fiffury]

Thank you Jordan for those fantastic plugins. I bought them .. just WoW !!! Awesome Work !

[WillyJunior]

Do we reeeeally need another saturation plugin?

[Fire-Toolz]

Sounds sooo good. You mixed this record like 3 years ago tho! Don't you wish you could go back and add Escalator to everything? LOL!

[EZXG]

I have been waiting for this kind of distortion plugin for long time. Great job !

[yasarkurtoglu]

Didnt test this plugin, but in this Category i would say the Legend is Inflator from Sonnox and Varisaturator from Voxengo

[robjohnson]

Hey Jordan! Would this work well on a mix bus in small amounts?

[jfh]

When the quality of the sound changes, even if the gain is the same the track will not sit exactly the same in the mix. Even on plugins with gain match, one often ends having to level it again as it doesn't sit the same. This is a very simple saturation plugin that can be had for $20 in a sale, what's all the stress about?

[kirkbagliadrums]

This looks and sounds sick. Can’t wait to use it on my drum mixes! Great work, Jordan.

[marcpeiron_studio]

That seems cool, willing to try! There's a volume boost when engaging it, I'd like to know if it manages to keep the peak level the same. Thanks :)

[producerfuji_official]

Question so what the best way to apply this plug-in in your vocal chain in the beginning or end of your chain with your plugin chain??
And on your master bus asking the same question before or after or end of chain plugins??

[maximedumont]

As already said, it's obvious it brings energy but also gain ! So it could be cool to have a gain ajustement knob too, to adjust the gain of the plugin and not on the fader of the track, to really compare with/without bypass, just like EQ pro tools EQ for example

[PCCardFreak]

Sounds Great Jordan! Will the plugin be Compatable with Logic Pro (audio unit?).
